Processing geo information in Wikipedia articles - Creative Coding - Tutorial. Introduction This tutorial is on how to lookup and geocode places in a Wikipedia article and visualize those with the help of Processing.

Made in conjunction with Stamen Design and 41 Latitude, it allows you to layer pieces of the basemap throughout your visualization. We think what we came up with is quite beautiful, but if it’s not to your tastes all the stylesheets and code is opensource so you can roll your own. For developers, GeoIQ has released the stylesheets and code to create the Acetate tiles.
TargetMap - Create & share customized data maps on Googlemaps. Free Online Mapping tool. GeoPlanet Explorer. Welcome to the GeoPlanet Explorer.

Here you can explore the geographical information provided by Yahoo in the GeoPlanet API and data set. Simply enter a location in the form above and submit it to get detailed information about the place you are looking for - including its ancestors, siblings, children and other relationships. Here's the information about the location you requested. Click any of the links to reload this page to learn more about this location. Clicking any of the links with a lat/lon pair will refresh the map and show you the location.
Petewarden/iPhoneTracker @ GitHub. This open-source application maps the information that your iPhone is recording about your movements.

It doesn't record anything itself, it only displays files that are already hidden on your computer.

Polymaps. Volunteered Geographic Information » Drawing maps with Python. There’s an increasing amount of useful packages that allow for spatial analysis in python.

Having said that, actually drawing a map remains relatively tricky, here I am sharing a few of the methods that I have come up with recently to help in this area. Firstly, let’s consider the basic set of prerequisites that you should have installed to do some useful things in Python. Numpy and Scipy – easy_install Numpy / easy_install Scipy Numeric Python and Scientific Python vastly extend the scientific programming capabilities of Python. Numpy adds the array() object which, for numeric matters, is far superior to the standard Python List, as well as numerous mathematical methods.

Matplotlib – easy_install matplotlib Standard Python plotting library, with excellent graphic data visualisation capabilities built in and an excellent set of examples and tutorials.
New City Landscapes - Interactive Tweetography Maps. Over the past few months we have been harvesting geospatial data from Twitter with the aim of creating a series of new city maps based on Twitter data.

Via a radius of 30km around New York, London, Paris, Munich we have collated the number of Tweets and created our New City Landscape Maps. New York New City LandscapeImage by urbanTick using the GMap Image Cutter / New York New City Landscape -Use the Google Maps style zoom function in the top right corner to zoom into the map and explore it in detail. Explore areas you know close up and find new locations you have never heard of. Click HERE for a full screen view.
